Dubai's RTA to support UAE Water Aid campaign

The Transport Authority (RTA) of Dubai, the UAE will support the UAE Water Aid (Suqia) campaign to provide drinking water by digging water wells in 10 countries. In Asia, these countries include Indonesia, Nepal, and India.

The step is taken in response to HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, VP and PM of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, who called to public and private organisations in the UAE to take part in Suqia campaign.

HE Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the RTA
made the announcement during a ceremony where a virtual water pumping machine filled hundreds of water bottles in support of the campaign.

The Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives Foundation will donate the same quantity of drinking water pumped by each entity to individuals in need from regions suffering from water shortages around the world.
